The jog-a-thon—a yearly highlight for the Larchmont Charter community—was great! We made money for our school and had a fantastic time doing it—everyone did well, no matter how many laps they ran. The Larchmont spirit was out in full force! Parents had a chance to check up on their kids when we had our parent teacher conferences a few weeks ago. We had so many amazing participants in our No Name Calling Week contest, and Larchmont Charter won first place nationwide. At youtube. com search for “What Would Dr. King Do” to check out the video. At the middle school, students had a great time at the Sprint-athon on PI day. A BIG thank you to all of the families that provided pie!
